Question

Distinguish between real and virtual image

Answer 1

Hey dear!!

$real \: image$
1.)Real image is formed when light rays from an object, after reflection, actually meet(i.e. intersect) at one point.

2.)Real image can be obtained on a screen.

3.)Real image is an inverted image.


$virtual \: image$
1.)Virtual image is formed when light rays from an object, appear to meet(i.e. intersect) at one point.

2.)Virtual image cannot be obtained on a screen.

3.)Virtual image is an erect image.

Hope it helps you!

Answer 2

Real Image

Real images are produced by intersecting rays.

Real images can be projected on a screen

Real images are formed by two opposite lens, concave and convex.

Real images are always inverted

Real images are created when rays of light are converged by a convex lens also known as converging lens.

The image is formed on the right-hand side of the lens.

Virtual Image

The image that cannot be obtained on a screen is known as virtual image.

A virtual image is created when rays of light diverge from a concave lens.

A virtual image is formed on the left-hand side of the lens.

Virtual image are produced by diverging rays

Virtual image cannot be projected on screen

Virtual images are always upright while real images are always inverted.
